Run the World Fund

Inspired by his experiences running around the world, founder Dan Thompson, has set up a fund - the Run the World Fund - to support projects that;

1. Encourage, motivate and support people to be active and to meet (or surpass) the WHO recommended levels of physical activity ; and/or

2. Promote – or provide education about – the benefits of an active, healthy lifestyle ; and/or

3. Use sport and physical activity to empower relatively disadvantaged sections of society in areas such as gender equality ; employability ;  educational attainment ; personal self-confidence and mental wellbeing

Why work in these areas when there is so much else to do? Because the mental and physical benefits of being active and living healthily are enormous* – and they don’t have to cost a lot. 

We ‘just’ need to persuade and motivate people to change their lifestyles – which means there is the potential for a very high social rate of return. In other words, we can do a lot of good without spending billions!
